Top 10 of 4,157 law firms for Children Act proceedings, Family Law

Law firms ranked by client reviews

Children Act proceedings cover how courts decide parental responsibility, residence, contact and safeguarding for children when families face separation, disagreement or risk. A solicitor guides the client through applications under the Children Act 1989, prepares statements, disclosures and witness evidence, negotiates orders such as residence or contact, applies for child arrangements orders, and represents the client at court hearings. The work often involves coordinating with social services, hospital or school staff, and ensuring the child’s welfare remains the court’s central concern.

Where a solicitor protects your position

The decisive factor is the child’s welfare and the potential for permanent changes to where a child lives or how they spend time with each parent. A solicitor helps navigate deadlines, court procedures and the availability of interim orders to protect the child’s best interests while the case proceeds.

Deborah Bailey

Tagged solicitor Deborah Bailey

Deborah was a pleasure to deal with honest and upfront in regards to my divorce and the pitfalls I had to face, her professionalism shone through from the moment I met her (previous experience had). I highly recommend Gowen and Stevens especially Deborah Bailey whom I can only praise. I give a special mention to the other voice behind the phone Caroline whom was always helpful, pleasant with nothing being a problem I would say you spoke with a smile. Thankyou both for your help.

Rachael Scowcroft

Tagged solicitor Rachael Scowcroft

"I turned to Racheal during an incredibly stressful custody dispute. balanced razor-sharp legal expertise with genuine compassion and empathy throughout. Racheal didn’t treat me like just another case number. She explained complex courtroom procedures in plain, universally simple language so I always felt empowered. Thanks to her fierce negotiation skills, the final court order exceeded my expectations. I will forever be grateful for all the advice I received in such difficult situations would definitely recommend to anyone needing these services.

Heather Harkes

Tagged solicitor Heather Harkes

Having had disappointing experiences with other solicitors in the past, I reached out to Heather at Burys regarding a complex and sensitive family matter. From the very beginning, Heather and the entire team at Burys were exceptionally helpful, understanding, and consistently provided sensible and practical advice throughout the entire process. They handled everything in a timely manner, from frequent updates via phone and email to managing the extensive paperwork and forms. Thanks to Heather and the team at Burys, the outcome of my case was precisely what I had hoped for. My barrister was well prepared thanks to the well organised paperwork and communication and the numerous court hearings were just that much easier thanks to this. I could not have navigated the legal process without their expert guidance and support. When you seek legal assistance, you are also paying for the reassurance that you will have people around you who can correctly assess the situation, guide you and be honest about your options. In this case, I got exactly that. I will not hesitate to contact Burys again in the future if I ever need legal assistance.
